You can connect your calendars to Brevo Meetings. Connecting your personal or professional calendar to Meetings is an effective way to automatically update your availability according to your existing commitments.
🗓️ Why connect your calendar to Meetings?
Connect your calendar to Meetings to simplify scheduling, prevent double bookings, and view meetings from your everyday calendar.
There are two types of calendars that you can connect: primary and additional.
Your primary calendar(s) allow you to view your Meetings bookings from the connected calendar and update your availability for meetings. If you book a meeting with a client, it will appear automatically on your primary connected calendar. Your booking pages will show your availability according to your calendar. If there's an appointment on your connected calendar, clients cannot schedule a meeting during that time.
The primary calendars are:
- Primary Google Calendar
- Microsoft Outlook Calendar
Your additional calendar(s) are only used to update your availability for meetings. Your booking pages will show your availability according to your calendar. If there's an appointment on your connected calendar, clients cannot schedule a meeting during that time.
The additional calendars are:
- Additional Google Calendar
- Other calendars of your primary Google Calendar
🔗 Connect your own calendar to Meetings
You can connect Meetings to your calendar during the onboarding, but you can also do it at any time afterward:
- From Brevo, go to Meetings > Availability.
- Go to the Connected calendars tab.
- Click Connect calendar next to the calendar you want to connect.
- Depending on the type of calendar chosen, follow the steps required on the platform.
💡 Good to knowThe steps are similar on each platform and mostly consist of choosing your account and authorizing Brevo to access it.
❗ Google Calendar anti-spam policy
To make sure all your bookings appear on Google Calendar automatically:
- From Google Calendar, click the Settings icon > Settings.
- Under General, go to Event settings.
- In the Add invitations to my calendar dropdown, select From everyone.
